The Rise of Korean Entertainment

How long does it take to shoot a movie? This is a matter of opinion, but there are many samples for reference.

For example, Avatar is a work that is said to be a work that took ten years to sharpen. I don’t know how much time Cameron invested in it, but the filming did last long enough. Of course, everyone on earth knows the final effect.

However, it is unreasonable to say that the shooting time is directly proportional to the quality of the finished film. For example, China's most famous sunglasses director claims to be able to shoot one shot in a day, and each shot is the language of action. However, among ordinary people in the market, at least To ordinary people, the finished film looks like that.

There is also such a god in South Korea called Kim Ki-duk. His most famous work may be the best-grossing "The Ultimate Weapon, the Bow", but this is just one of his masterpieces.

This god is a master at shooting low-budget, high-depth, award-winning films, and the most commendable thing about him is his shooting time. Almost every film is shot within 20 days. The key thing is that he can It’s easy to win prizes.

Li Menglong didn't know this. He had only made one movie with Li Zhouyong, and the filming of that small-scene introduction to architecture with only four protagonists took a full month and a half.

Therefore, although subconsciously he knew that the quality of shooting and time seemed to have nothing to do with each other, Li Menglong still subconsciously controlled the progress of the shooting, and the method naturally could not be unlimited, otherwise the gang would argue with him to death.

Li Menglong's most common method is to find excuses to take a rest. Today is the 126th anniversary of xxx's birth? rest!

Is it Ge Suyuan’s birthday? This needs to be celebrated and rested!

…

Fortunately, Li Menglong is an investor, and a group of paid actors will naturally not say much when the play is performing well.

So a scene that other crews couldn't even imagine happened here. Almost every night, Li Menglong took a group of protagonists out to eat and drink, and all the small shops in this area were eaten up by this group of people.

But even so, this low-cost film with a pitiful few protagonists and too small scenes only took 23 days. This was counted from the time when the actors were first found. In terms of pure shooting time, Li Menglong himself Don't dare to count.

And today, it’s basically Seohyun’s final solo shot, the beautiful shot that Li Menglong promised at the beginning!

Because he was unwilling to use so-called artificial snow, Li Menglong, who had read the weather forecast, still waited an extra day. Liu Chenglong, who was like a family, and his gang did not break up early. Everyone who had finished their work yesterday was very drunk.

So today, the whole team just accompanied Xu Xian to shoot another scene, and then went to the finals banquet. Even Li Menglong was a little absent-minded, really thinking about finding some excuse to escape later.

The drinking capacity of the six supporting male actors is really not something Li Menglong can handle. These people seem to be soaked in wine jars. According to their words, they are constantly circling various crews, and their drinking capacity has long been developed.

"Uncle, Seohyun Unnie seems angry!" Ge Suyuan dressed like a little red riding hood because she didn't have to film today, reminding Li Menglong cutely.

"Huh? Angry? Why!" As soon as Li Menglong asked, he realized how stupid this question was. Without Xu Xian's reminder, he would not remember to shout "action" out of habit!

"Ahem, please pay attention to all departments. Try to take a little longer for the last scene. It's still early. No matter what, we have to postpone it until noon before going out for dinner!" Li Menglong's words successfully made the surrounding staff laugh.

However, following Li Menglong's order, everyone devoted themselves seriously to their work. White snow was flying in the sky, and the entire earth was covered with a layer of silver.

The camera panned slightly, and Xu Xian's back gradually appeared. Today's outfit was chosen by Xu Xian himself. After all, Li Menglong's aesthetics can be said to look good.

Although he meant it sincerely, after all, Xu Xian looked good in anything he wore, but he had to say that Xu Xian looked particularly good-looking today - he was wearing a pair of half-length leather boots, and the legs of his jeans were tucked inside. A knee-length light khaki jacket covered her body, and the collar of a pure white sweater was also exposed.

The brown hair that can only be seen in the sun is spread on both sides. As for Xu Xian's facial features, they are actually very three-dimensional and give people a slightly harsh feeling. However, in this beautiful scene, it adds a touch of heroism to her. .

Xu Xian stood alone in the snow, letting the snowflakes beat on his body, looking up into the distance straight up. The camera kept giving close-ups of her face, and finally it was fixed directly in her eyes.

It’s hard to say how charming Xu Xian’s eyes are. Anyway, Li Menglong has always been afraid to look at them, because those eyes are like clear lake water. He can see the bottom of her heart at a glance, and the more so, it can reflect her heart. The nastiness in the hearts of the world.

There is no specific explanation for this last shot, just like when I used to take exams in reading articles, I liked to ask what the author wanted to express at the end of the article.

What can be expressed? It's just the end! If I have to say something, it is to express what the author means for readers to understand on their own.

The same is true for this shot. Li Menglong can't say what the specific meaning is, but there are ten thousand Hamlets in the eyes of ten thousand people. The audience can guess what they want. Xu Xian's eyes can let you see you. I want to see all the good things!

An extremely beautiful scene, with Li Menglong's cut, everyone returned to reality, but Xu Xian was still standing there with some aftertaste.

In fact, it can't be said that her role in this drama is running out, it's just that it's so small that it's pitifully small. However, Xu Xian gained a lot and grew a lot in this drama.

So she tried to bring her into the emotional world of the character. For the first time, Xu Xian faced her identity as an actor from the bottom of her heart. The effect cannot be said to be perfect, but the effect created by Li Menglong is another story.

"Don't you need to do it again? Director!"

"It looks good to me?" Li Menglong was afraid that Xu Xian wouldn't believe it, so he pulled the group of people who were watching the excitement over. Everyone had similar opinions, and it was indeed good.

So Xu Xian didn't know whether to be depressed or happy, always feeling neither good nor bad, but Li Menglong couldn't care about her at this time.

It’s hard to say how many days it took to shoot, but Room 7, which took no more than 20 days to shoot, has been completely completed, and all the shots so far have made Li Menglong extremely satisfied.

"Thank you all for your dedication to this film. I will do my best to edit the entire film and give all of us a satisfactory answer!" After speaking, Li Menglong bowed deeply to everyone and thanked everyone.

Xu Xian stood next to the actor and looked at Li Menglong bowing alone in the distance, and suddenly felt a little sad. Fortunately, there was still someone standing up for him.

"You are probably the most special director in my career as an actor. Thank you for giving me and all of us the opportunity and trust to play freely! If this play can achieve some results, it really has more than half of them. It's your credit, thank you, director!" Liu Chenglong expressed everyone's feelings on behalf of everyone.

Not every director is willing to give up the power in his hands. It seems that there will always be so-called company heroes and capable employees who are suppressed because he threatens the authority of the leader.

So we have directors like Lee Mong-ryong who know how to let go, actors like Ryu Seung-ryong who have studied their roles to the extreme, and employees who work well together, and even investors like Lee Eun-hee who didn’t come even once during the filming process. Only then could there be a small miracle of shooting in Room 7.

"I won't be pretentious anymore. If anyone runs away first today, it's him!" Li Menglong gestured with a thumbs down and coaxed. The actor responded enthusiastically. After all, no man would admit defeat at the wine table. of.

However, because Xu Xian also lived on the same street, he had a lot of time, so everyone packed up the groceries and chatted with each other.

"Are you going back to Japan today?"

"Well, I'll pay my respects to the seniors for a moment, and then I'll leave!" Xu Xian still knows these basic human ways, otherwise he would be stupid.

"There's no need to talk to them. I'll drink it for you later!" Li Menglong said generously.

"No, the director is the director. This is a thank you among our own actors!"

"Hey, you still think I'm a director?" Li Menglong put his hand on the girl's head and rubbed her hair fiercely. As for returning to Japan, Li Menglong didn't stop her.

Both of them knew about the current situation of the girls, and Li Menglong even called them every day to comfort them. He will start editing the film immediately, and he will rush there immediately.

Because it was impossible for people to go there immediately, Li Menglong suppressed his worries in his heart, teased Xu Xian a few words and joined the moving army.

Everyone was busy until noon, and then they collectively went to the barbecue restaurant. Yesterday, this group of people drank until midnight. The boss even packed and restocked the store, which was equivalent to finishing the shop after taking a short nap.

But seeing this group of people coming over again, even though they could make money, the boss didn't know what to say other than a wry smile.

"Are you happy to see us? Let's go in for more barbecue, otherwise we will go crazy drinking." After patting the fearful boss on the shoulder, Li Menglong sat directly in the back. After drinking too much for a while, he could still drink. Lean against the wall.

It’s just that we haven’t had much to drink yet. After all, while we were sober, we had to share our feelings and express our gratitude for the recent help. Xu Xian followed this process.

As for Li Menglong, forget it, he is just waiting for the wine table after the emotional exchange. Li Menglong has already made up his mind to leave his more than 100 kilograms on the table today.

However, his phone rang at this time. Firstly, not many people knew about Li Menglong's phone number, and secondly, those who knew about it knew what he was doing recently, so few people called him during the day.

"Where are you? Come and help me out. Are you free?"

"you guess?……"
